OUS seeks public input
about new chancellor
University community members
will have an opportunity to partici
pate in an open forum discussion
concerning die next chancellor of
the Oregon University System when
the State Board of Higher Education
chancellor search committee comes
to the EMU Gumwood Room Thurs
day from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Jim Willis, chair of the State Board
of Higher Education’s search com
mittee, said committee members will
ask the public to specifically discuss
qualities expected in a chancellor
and what they hope the chancellor
will accomplish while in office.
“We want Oregonians to help us
as we search for the right person to
become the new chancellor,” Willis
said. “We’d like to know what Ore
gonians see as the key challenges
facing the chancellor and the board
in the future.”
This is the first time the chancel
lor search committee has involved
open public discussions in the se
lection process. The committee will
hold informal, walk-in sessions
where Oregonians can meet with
members of the search committee
and other board members to ex
change opinions and ideas.
Current OUS Chancellor Joe Cox
will step down later this summer.
Cox, who served as Southern Ore
gon University president from 1987
to 1994, was appointed chancellor
in 1994.

University adopts*
Nike-designed ‘O’ as logo
Starting today, the University
will offer members of the public a
chance to voice their opinions and
ideas regarding the University’s
new official logo.
Allan Price , University vice
president for advancement , said
the University will make the Nike
“O” the dominant logo for the
school, replacing the old interlock
ing “UO” symbol. The University
will begin using the “O” on official
documents and business cards, and
the home page will feature a link to
view the proposed logo.
People can link on the Web page
to a site where they can give feed
back on the change. The site will be
up until March 1.
Price introduced the logo at a
University Senate meeting Wednes
day and showed members samples
of how the logo would look on Uni
versity documents.
Some senate members voiced
concern about the logo, which was
designed by Nike in 1999. But Price
said the University has ownership
rights to the “O” and that the Uni
versity licenses the right to use the
“O” for clothing in contracts.
“We own the rights to the ‘O,’ but
we have licensed the right in con
tract to use the “O” in apparel,”
Price said.
Students, faculty and alumni
have criticized the idea and the
process of the logo change, saying
the University’s many graphic im
ages are a part of the school’s histo
ry. But Price pointed out that the
change will only affect the old
“UO” logo. The University Seal and
Donald Duck will remain to repre
sent the University in other areas.

having a lot of fun tonight. I haven’t
been around young people for so
long. It’s nice.”
Members of Delta Sigma Phi and
Chi Omega took lessons from Uni
versity dance instructor Tim Cow
art before the prom to learn the fox
trot, waltz and salsa. They also
made valentines and gave bouton
nieres and corsages to each resident
attending the evening’s festivities.
All the members from both houses
signed the valentine cards.
“We have wanted to do some
thing like this for some time. Basi
cally, we wanted to spend time
with people who do not normally
have interaction such as this,”
Delta Sigma Phi Philanthropy
Chairman Justin Zuiker said. “We
plan to make this an annual event.
Just look at all the smiles on their
faces — why wouldn’t you want to
do something like this?”
Out on the dance floor, Bob
Wearne, 82, and Courtney Warner,
18, cut a rug with huge smiles brim
ming across their faces.
“I am having a blast,” Warner said
as she patted Wearne on the shoul
der. “Bob’s a real good dancer.”
Wearne said that he hadn’t been
dancing in a long time but it was
wonderful.
Even for those who could not get
out on the dance floor, the event
proved to be a good time. Ruth Vau
pel, 80, said she loved watching
everyone dance and would be out
there with the rest of them if it
weren’t for her broken hips.
“I don’t know how I got to be so

old,” she said, adding that she and
her husband, Bill, danced all the
time before he passed away three
years ago. “Being here tonight re
minds me of him,” she said.
For many Alpine residents, the
dance was more than a rare occa
sion. Several residents who attend
ed the dance have Alzheimer’s dis
ease, which prevents them from
going to events outside the facility
because they often wander away in
social settings.
“It is absolutely awesome. I have
seen more smiles tonight than I
have seen this entire year. We have
residents here who never come to
activities, and they are absolutely
loving it,” Alpine Springs activity
director Tracey Poupa said.
For Peterson and Larson, the
dance brought out their younger
spirits.
“Oh, I am young. I am 50 years
old; I have been 50 for the last 20 or
so years,” said Peterson.
Larson disagrees.
“Her nose is getting longer every
second,” he said.

ASUO
continued from page 1
what would it be?
A: We hate to be repetitive, but it
would be bringing the students
back to the student government.
We would like to see students real
ly care about what is going on at
the University. We think that they
are just not educated about what
their student government does.
That seems wrong to us.
Q: How would you do things
differently than the current ASUO
Executive?
A: We do not have a clue who
the vice president or who the pres
ident is. A lot of people that we
know do not have any idea who
they are. What we want to do is get
out there, get our faces seen and
our agendas heard. We want (stu
dents) to know there is no problem
too small for us to handle.
